[Dermoid of the cornea. Report of 2 cases of Ida Mann's 2nd type].
At the opposite of epibulbar dermoids (which are isolated or combined), dermoids of IDA MANN's second type are uncommon. The two cases reported had a big size and covered almost the cornea, without damage on the descemet's membrane, the endothelium and the other eyeball structures. This lesion is classified by the W.H.O. among choristomas. It's made of skin recovering fat which includes in different figures, hair follicle, eccrine and sweat glands. Total excision is the best treatment, but couls become complicated by cornea perforation. It could be followed in some cases by keratoplasty. Amblyopia could go with this malformation.
